Westinghouse, Nordion, and PSEG team up to produce Co‑60 in the United States
This past January, Westinghouse Electric Company, Nordion, and PSEG Nuclear formalized agreements to implement newly developed cobalt-60 production technology at Units 1 and 2 of PSEG’s Salem nuclear power plant in New Jersey, with the Co-60 to be supplied to Nordion. Through an ongoing joint initiative, the companies aim to harness U.S. pressurized water reactors to produce a key medical isotope and build the first commercial-scale Co-60 production platform in the United States.

Two-group calculations of the propagation of neutron waves across an absorption discontinuity in beryllium are reported. The first slab is assumed to be of finite width, while the second is taken to be of infinite dimensions. It is found that in the first slab, the effect of the interface is felt earlier for lower frequencies.
